HeatTransfer.Convection

Lumped thermal element for heat convection (Q_flow = Gc*dT) This component is translated by DyadAI

Usage

TranslatedComponents.HeatTransfer.Convection()

Connectors

• Gc - This connector represents a real signal as an input to a component (RealInput)

• solid - Thermal port for 1-dim. heat transfer

This component is translated by DyadAI (HeatPort)

• fluid - Thermal port for 1-dim. heat transfer

This component is translated by DyadAI (HeatPort)

Variables

Name	Description	Units
Q_flow	Heat flow rate from solid -> fluid	W
dT	= solid.T - fluid.T	K
